Batman TAS: Mad as a Hatter

“Why don’t you go do something useful like… Oh, go jump in the river.”

Episode: 27 Robin: No Writer: Paul Dini Director: Frank Paur Animator: Akom Airdate: October 12, 1992 Grade: B

I was in high school when Tim Burton’s version of Alice in Wonderland showed up in theaters, and like almost everyone I knew, I could not have been more excited. I really loved the Disney version, and considering that the man involved with Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman, and more would be giving us his take on it right as I was starting to move toward my emo-scene phase, it was a dream come true. Even now, on paper, this seems like the perfect recipe, doesn’t it? But I think most of us can agree that it just didn’t meet expectations. The first time I watched it, I wouldn’t admit to myself that I wasn’t a fan. It was dark, and strange, and Tim Burton + Alice in Wonderland. Everything I wanted! As a developing emo kid, I was supposed to like it! The reason I bring this up is because Batman the Animated Series being fused with Alice in Wonderland seems like another fantasy-combination that would have no way to turn out subpar. Mad as a Hatter is an episode that, for the most part, actually gets a lot of praise. Alas (or, for the sake of the pun, Alice), maybe the idea seemed a little bit too easy, making it easier to over-shoot, missing the mark. This is another episode featuring a crazy set-piece at the end, but it is also another episode that was handed to Akom. Christ, why. Of all the episodes. All the episodes. Why is it some of the ones with the highest reliance on visuals? This episode involved not just complicated, creative visuals, but incredibly weird ones as well that needed to be animated just right to not look like subjects from one’s fever dreams. You wanna know how that turned out? Well, I heard an, “Oh my god!” from Char as the walrus and the carpenter made their appearances. While that did make me laugh quite hard, and Akom definitely got the weirdness down, it should have looked like intentional weirdness. Beyond the animation, the story is actually decent. It is Paul Dini, so what can you really expect. But even here, I would not call it A-level material. Some strange dialogue/delivery choices, and other leaps of logic/strains on the suspension of disbelief take away from it and leave me feeling extremely neutral.

Okay, so after that paragraph above was written, I went and took the screenshots from my DVD. I was surprised. The DVD looks so much better than the Blu Ray here. This was the case with The Clock King too, and I fear it is starting to seem like a pattern. I think it all comes down to the Blu Ray release looking too clean, and way too bright at times. Because of course, the DVD is in lower definition. Shadows are lightened so that we can see all of the imperfections of Akom’s drawings. Smudges and dirt are removed, giving the people a plastic look at times. It’s not the way the show was meant to be watched (as I said, probably VHS would be my preferred way of viewing if that were feasible). This puts me in an interesting spot, because I paid near $100 for the set, and also, some episodes look absolutely phenomenal. But is it worth it when some look like absolute crap? The great-looking shows look godly. The mediocre-looking ones look horrible. I was ready to tear into how Mad as a Hatter looked and rip it a new one, but now I do not think that would be fair. No, the animation here isn’t perfect. But it’s passable. And I think that’s worth something given the frequency at which I complain about Akom. At this point, I have watched up to Robin’s Reckoning. From here, I honestly might start using the ol’ dvd’s again. It’s unfortunate, but if I go back to specific episodes that I love later on, then I’ll use the Blu Ray. Remember, I am watching these with Char who has never seen the DCAU before. I want the series to make the best possible impression, and even with the best plot ever, a bad-looking episode can make a disappointing episode. Merely getting the episodes at a higher definition, but leaving them dirty and dark would have been my preferred solution. Anyway, back to talking about the episode itself (and yes, this does slightly affect how I see the episode. At first I was giving it a C. But I think I’ll have to bump it up to B territory).

We start with episode with some cute-ass mice, only to then be introduced to a face that a mother would have a hard time loving. Jervis Tetch, aka The Mad Hatter, is a character-design, alright. I think I know what they were going for, though. He has this kooky look that makes him stand out from every other character. He certainly looks like he could play someone from Wonderland. But the problem I think comes from Akom (ironic given that last paragraph, huh?). This design could probably work, but he has such an odd model, so I think they had a tough time animating him. Or maybe he simply does not translate to movement very well in general, and there was a problem the moment his model sheet was created. Regardless, he can be pretty tough to look at sometimes. Other times, though, he does have that level of whacky which I would hope would be in an episode based on Alice in Wonderland. But we see that Jervis is working on some mind-control technology while also being smitten for a girl that works in his office named Alice. Unfortunately, Alice has a boyfriend, and like many sociopaths in real life, Jervis is not okay with this, taking matters into his own hands. First of all, her name being Alice is kinda stupid, and Char agrees. It takes parallels a little bit too far, and Char noted that it would have been more subtle if her name were something like Alycia. Alice is one of the only people that Jervis feels is nice to him, so if we follow the most sound of incel-logic, she owes him her heart, mind, and body. Not only is she nice to him, but, again, her name is Alice. And it would not surprise me if this were a main factor of why Jervis is into her. He has an Alice in Wonderland poster in his office, he takes her to a theme park of sorts that has a section which is themed after the book, he owns a Mad Hatter costume (or perhaps he obtained this from the park), he quotes the book regularly, etc. He is clearly obsessed. When we reach the point where he mentions that it is one of his favorite stories, it’s like, “Wow! No kidding!” He is not quite wired into reality, likely developing this obsession at an early age to escape from life’s burdens. But Wonderland has burdens of its own.

Jervis ends up using these mind-control cards that he created (another Alice in Wonderland-related thing) to make people basically do his bidding. He first uses them on two thugs attempting to rob him and Alice, forcing them to climb up on top of a bridge and jump into the river. Batman catches notice of this through a police broadcast, and to my surprise, the show mentions a possible suicide in progress. How often do you hear a family cartoon like this use the word “suicide”? I think this is the only time I have ever heard it, despite references occasionally popping up in shows like Spongebob. He then uses more cards on his coworkers, Alice’s fiancé, and Alice herself, creating an army of Alice in Wonderland-themed warriors to defend him from Batman when Batman finds out what’s going on and sets after him. He wants Alice all to himself, and is willing to do whatever possible to obtain her. The final battle takes place in the theme park, the big set-piece of the episode. It’s got some great looking background paintings that 100% capture the tone of the book. It is a shame that the animation done by Akom couldn’t hold up to Radomski’s work. We have moments such as Batman balancing on top of the walls of a playing card maze that I wish stressed me out a little bit more. But because of how stilted the movement is, Batman never really seems like he is having a tough time keeping balance, even though we clearly see him struggling. The fight scenes could also be much better, with more impact felt. The odd costumes that most everyone is wearing makes for some really distorted-looking characters, and it’s clear that not a lot of time was spent making them look quite right. At the same time, though, between the subject material, the gimmicks, the overall surreal nature, and the background art, it is still a lot of fun to watch, even if it is in a more campy way. It is not an episode to be taken extremely seriously. This can be a problem with Batman. The tone can fluctuate greatly from episode to episode. At the beginning, it did not matter as much. Right away we had varying quality and seriousness. I mean, we went from On Leather Wings to Christmas With the Joker. But now we are getting gothic masterpieces like Two-Face, so episodes like Mad as a Hatter feel jarring as hell. It is an episode I enjoyed more on second watch as I gathered screenshots. I loosened up and let myself have fun with it.

The Mad Hatter fails to be a sympathetic villain like I feel they might have been going for, but I do enjoy him being so delusional and sociopathic. When Alice mentions her boyfriend, he gets this scary scowl, and you know at that moment that this is no character you want to root for. When Alice’s boyfriend temporarily breaks up with her, rather than attempting to comfort her and being upset over her sorrow, he jumps for joy because he has a chance to finally swoop in (the epitome of an Internet “nice guy”). When she gets back together with her boyfriend, turned fiancé, he squeezes a bouquet of roses in frustration so hard that he bleeds. I think they were able to get away with this portion because maybe the blood could have passed off as liquid from the flowers? Which doesn’t really make a lot of sense, but for the sake of the blood being included, um, sure. It was definitely rose-goo, guys. Not blood at all… And he also blames Batman for why things ended up the way they did, even though Batman had virtually nothing to do with anything until the very end. He decided to mind-control everyone because he was being a spoiled little piss-baby who could not let the girl he supposedly loves be happy. Char did not care for the character, and jokingly mentioned that he was appropriating the Mad Hatter, doing things that he would never do. Like some batshit crazy super-fan who feels sooo connected with a character, but actually doesn’t understand them at all.

Not a perfect episode, but a grower.

See? Cute-ass mice!

Wow, I didn’t realize that we were watching Attack on Titan. (Joke inspired by Char).

The poster on the wall matches the title card/an actual illustration from the book. It’s actually a pretty dope poster.

A variety of shots showing Jervis’ face. See how inconsistent it is? It is a little similar to the Pokémon Drilbur, where it only works 2D. Adding an element of 3D illusion (such as movement) causes it to fall apart.

Oh, sure, go and rob them right after you see Batman drive by. That’s always smart.

“Please, Mr. Hat. Go easy on us.” The delivery here was wicked funny. It was so monotone, and sounded like he was faking.

I quite like this facial expression. His smile reminds me of the Cheshire Cat.

Batman + Taco Bell

I love the panic in Batman’s voice as he tries to stop them from jumping off of the bridge. It shows how concerned he is with keeping them safe.

They were able to animate this shimmer pretty damn well. Then again, how hard could it be?

A very subtle recreation of the illustration/title card.

I don’t think the background here quite comes together, the composition is off. Still neat to look at.

A close-up of the illustration.

Now this is an ugly facial expression. Gross! And it’s not like this was a quick frame. It was there long enough to notice.

This shot has a lovely glow to it. It looks quite nice.

One of the only times they were able to get away with blood. Um. Oops. I meant flower-goo! It’s flower-goo, guys! The blood drips right onto Billy’s face. As if a hit were put on him. Awesome detail.

“Oh, do be quiet!”

Bruce whispers “Congratulations.” in such a goobery way. I love it.

The shadow of the plants shifted in some wonky-looking ways. Also, when the Mad Hatter and Batman both arrive on the scene, she says, “This is getting too weird.” But she says it so nonchalantly. Not the best delivery.

Very sloppy-looking drawings of their faces. These costumes, though.

Cool impact here. He just decimates that wood. I’m not sure if Storybook Land has the safest costumes.

This is some enjoyable stuff right here. I had a lot of fun with this portion.

“Off with his head!” I should have counted how many times this line was said.

Perfect example if how cool the painted visuals are paired with some mediocre animation. Hell, I’m pretty sure Batman’s run was recycled for two of these stills.

Gee, I wonder which cards are going to move. Great Mad Hatter, pose, though. This is what I wish he looked like all the time!

The looming Jabberwock ends up falling on him, ending the adventure through Wonderland.

There’s no reversing the damage, Jervis. You’ll never talk with her again. Was it worth it? Also, his hair totally changed color at one point. Um... Maybe he dyed it?

Char’s grade: D Next time: Dreams in Darkness

TV Asks: 6, 7, 12, 13, 30, 37, 41, 42

From TV Asks

6.which shows do you think are underrated and need more love?

I don’t know if Hannibal counts as underrated, but it certainly needs more love. One Day At A Time was criminally underrated, and so was Sense 8. Those are two shows that would have thrived with more media attention and promotion.

7. have you ever been inspired to start a new show based on gifs or memes it has produced?

The only one I can think of right now is Umbrella Academy, I would have watched it anyway because of my inner emo kid. But the memes pushed me to watch sooner.

12.have you ever watched a show just for a specific actor? did you enjoy it?

I started Fear the Walking Dead, because if Alycia Debman-Carey. I’m in love with her, and FTWD is a pretty good show. I started The Walking Dead to see Norman Reedus, I ended up not liking his character and loving the show. Though my feelings about it are more complicated now. I fell in love with Raul Esparza while watching Hannibal so I started SVU for him.

13.what genre of TV show is your favourite?

It’s between comedy (but like, Mike Schur comedies) and drama, but it has to have a dark/sci-fi/horror component to it. Those are usually the things that keep me watching the longest.

30. what’s one show you could probably write a 2,000 word essay on, and what would be your topic?

I could write a lot about a lot of shows. Usually about how I could improve them. Right now I’d say I could probably write a 2,000 word essay on revitalizing The Walking Dead or Law and Order SVU. There is so much potential in each of these shows, but I feel like it falls short by under utilizing some of their best characters (cough Jesus cough cough)

37. which TV show setting would you most like to visit?

Brooklyn Nine Nine because everything is wholesome and funny. Also Jake is the older brother I always wanted. OH and Captain Holt is the father I always wanted.

41. if you could change 1 detail about any show, what would you change and why?

Not even naming a specific show, because if I could change any detail about a specific show it would be to add more diverse, positive queer representation. I think that’s one of the reasons Hannibal rates so highly for me, because the level of casual, yet important, queerness is so good.

42. what’s the longest amount of time you’ve ever watched a show in one sitting?

Oof, I spend HOURS sitting and watching tv shows. I basically finished The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina in like one sitting, same thing with One Day At A Time. I do not have healthy media consumption habits lmao.

!!!! keiynan !!!! i don’t know if i just casually understate my love for him bc i feel like i could literally play a hundred of him and be happy, he’s just so lovely and his smile is infectious and every time i see a gifset or photoset of his i want to die. we have all been blessed by his presence honestly

i feel like i’ve probably managed to dial back my love for willa holland a bit since discovering my other lady love alycia debnam carey but she’s still one of the firsts that i absolutely just fell in love playing, and still the fc to one of my oldest characters

a total throwback to that time dulce my ana de armas tried to drunkenly serenade the girl she had a thing for in front of all greek row and honestly saved by her very best friend in a moment that caused a lot of emo tears for me and ash, i love ana to death and im glad people are starting to use her more, frankly, i need to play her more too!!

Welcome (again) to A Cup-pella, MI ! We’re excited to have you and Natasha Walker in the game! Please go through the checklist to make sure you’re ready to go and send in your account within the next 24 hours.

OOC INFO

Name + pronouns: MI - She/Her Age: 20 Timezone: GMT Ships: Chemistry Anti-Ships: Forced

IC INFO

Full Name: Natasha Lia Walker Face Claim: Alycia Debnam Carey Age/Birthday: 24, August 20th. Occupation: NBC Studios, assistant. Personality: Careless, guarded, selfish, irritable, outgoing, creative, unsure. Hometown: Salt Lake City, Utah. Bio:

Life hadn’t been a dance on red roses for Natasha, which made sense when you met her. She’s got a very negative light on life and happiness, but she likes to excuse it with the fact that she’s a realist and the world’s cruel. Could anyone really blame her with the upbringing she’d had, no. At 9 her father left with another woman, leaving Natasha behind even though she was a huge daddy’s girl. They used to do everything together, he was the fun parent. When he left she blamed her mother full on and went right into her rebellious teens, honestly being a nightmare. Looking back she hated herself for putting her mother through that, but what’s done is done. She used to run away for weeks at time, party so hard her mom had to come pick her limp body up and drag her home. It wasn’t fun, not for either party involved. Natasha liked the reputation though, being a badass, someone no one fucked with. Every once in awhile that comes back up in her, usually whenever her father contacts her. She’s yet to find a way to deal with it, just so easy budging for the man that broke her heart for the first time.

It was ridicules how classic of a case she was, the one with daddy issues. People would throw it in her face whenever she used guys for her own pleasure, tossing them aside when they got to clinging. She couldn’t feel for them, there was no empathy left in her for those losers. Sometimes Natasha’s scared she can’t feel, that she’s shut parts down because they hurt too much when she was younger. It’s a riddle to her how she can know what her own problem is, yet she can’t seem to fix it. At times she tries to focus on the positives, the fact that she has a mom who’ll do anything for her, she’s got a great head on her and she’s doing exactly what she wanted, hell she even got to nyc.

Parts of her just reminds her of him and she hates it, but she can’t say it out loud. People would think she was weak and she wasn’t gonna relate to that word in anyway. She was still here, even if she wasn’t wanted by the one she’d looked up to all her life, even if he discarded her like she was nothing, refusing to see her for months only to try and rekindle their relationship once a year whenever he felt too bad.

It helped though, getting away from Utah. Now she didn’t have to worry about randomly bumping into him, or his wife who was far to nacking about the fact she wasn’t married. Maybe she didn’t want to be married, so fucking what. Guys sucked, they felt disposable and Natasha wasn’t sure what to think about it. However meeting the girls from acup had her thinking, and it wasn’t a topic up for discussion. There was no way she was gay, nah, she wasn’t adding that to the reputar of fucked up ness, there was enough in her backpack already.

However she liked being the forward for April showers, having a place to let out her aggression in her free time. Things were good, the girls were alright and she made due. It wasn’t like she’d got anything against them, she just doesn’t dig lady parts herself. Living with Rose was awesome though, they each got their personal space and she enjoyed how chill it was.

Pets: The only person in her life, beside her mom, who had all Natasha’s heart was her cat; pussy. He’s a black quiet cat who usually lives anywhere comfy or tight, he’s for the most part to be found in Natasha’s bed or her laundry basket. His big eyes spoke to her when she saved him from the shelter, which was today the best choice she’d made. The odd little fucker really was something else, just utterly dumb as he runs into things and adorably cuddling. Relationships:

April’s Showers: They get on, after all there has to be teamwork to win and Nat is more than willing to put time and effort into it. However, at times she might be a tad too arrogant when she doesn’t want to pass the ball up. It’s something she’s working on, but hey they can’t be too mad when she’s actually got skills.

Rose Beringer: The two met years back when Natasha was crashing college parties at NYU for fun, not expecting to actually hit it off with anyone. It was a blessing in the sky when Rose mentioned looking for roommates, as Nat needed a more affordable place. The two instantly got along and everything was chill, Rose is one of the ones she’d actually consider a friend.

Grace Fitzgerald: It was at one of the games where they fell into talk and honestly Nat isn’t sure what it was, but somehow they became friends. Perhaps because Grace made her look at things differently, forced her to view things from different perspectives instead of always being so negative about everything. It was something she quite admired in the girl if she had to be honest, but she’d never tell her that, it’s much more fun teasing her.

Avery Thatcher: There’d been this one night of a drunken mistake, which happened to be with no other than Avery. Natasha doesn’t quite clearly remember who made the first move or how it happened, but their lips locked and for whatever reason she didn’t stop it. Not till it was over and she stood there with a craving to lean in for another, the feeling was not welcome and Natasha’s first action was to get the hell out of there.
